Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 30 minutes
Servings 8

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp of salt
  • 1/3 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup of cold, unsalted butter (cut into small pieces)
  • 1 tsp of vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cup of golden syrup
  • 1 tsp of lemon zest
  • ½ cup of heavy cream
  • 1 cup of fresh breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and sugar.
  • Add cold butter and vanilla extract to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or fingertips to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Press the dough evenly across the bottom and sides of the prepared tart pan. Use a fork to prick the bottom of the crust all over.
  • Combine golden syrup, lemon juice, zest, and heavy cream in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium, stirring constantly, until well combined.
  • Bring the syrup mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Remove from heat and stir in fresh breadcrumbs and beaten egg until well incorporated.
  • Pour the filling into the prepared crust and spread it evenly with a spatula.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
  • Allow the tart to cool in the pan on a wire rack before removing it carefully.
  • Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
